IPL 2019: Highest paid player from each of the 8 teams

#2 MS Dhoni - Chennai Super Kings

MS Dhoni

Salary – INR 15 Crore

MS Dhoni has a unique bond with Chennai Super Kings and it was evident when the Chennai Management tried to pick up the same team under Dhoni after their return from Ban in IPL 2018.

Dhoni repaid the faith the Chennai management had on him with a title victory and justified his price tag of INR 15 crore. Considering the value that he has brought to the Chennai Side, the massive pay is quite an understatement. More than his middle order batting skills and finishing prowess, his calm leadership qualities are much more valuable to Chennai as a cohesive unit.

The second highest paid player in the Chennai side is Suresh Raina who is paid INR 11 crore. The former Indian international is still a highly valued player in the T20 circles with his ability to build the innings. He may be on the lookout to stake a claim to the World cup squad even though the chances are quite slim at this point in time.

Dhoni will be looking at IPL as a valuable game time before the World cup. Considering the fact that he might well be playing his last World Cup in 2019, he would definitely want to go out with a bang.
